Our Mission

The Mission of the Institute is to provide an independent forum for those who dare to read, think, speak, and write in order to advance the professional, literary, and scientific understanding of sea power and other issues critical to national defense.

CEO Notes

Building on our discussion about the Naval Institute’s electronic initiatives last month, I am pleased to introduce Sam LaGrone as our first online editor. As his title clearly implies, Sam will expand and refine a variety of the Institute’s online projects to make content more timely, relevant, and accessible. He will be supported by a network of contributors who will engage on topics and produce content on a more frequent basis than the current monthly rhythm of Proceedings allows. The discussion will be conducted and accessible from new sections on www.usni.org and in a new application for the iPad that we are currently developing.
